Raiders needed another secondary-player, because their #2 and #3 DBs were out of the game; thus the field day Schaub had at the Raiders' expense outside the red zone, but inside the red zone the Raiders D was compressed and the rookie DB got more safety help.

Apparently, DB Chris Johnson's replacement, Chimdi Chekwa, is also injured and the Raiders may be starting DB Joe Porter opposite Stanford Routt. Not good news for the Raiders, as it gives the Texans a viable option to running the ball; pick on the weak-link DB.

Wasn't even a factor in the game.

Did you see the way Campbell picked on Jason Allen? That's what we should have done to somebody, get Kevin Walter on that side of the field & go to work.....

Passes of 60, 56, 41, etc., seem to say otherwise; though an injured McClain (MLB) was clearly beaten on one of those plays. Still, DVD didn't play terrible, but he wasn't doing great either and it was part of the reason the pass defense was hurting.
